I’m catching up and am now writing about “today”, day 3 at GP Tech 2019. My previous posts from the other days are here: Pre-Day Day 1 Day 2 The third day of the conference is always a short one – a half day of content and for some, various meetings or simply a chance… (continue >)

This is a continuation of the mini-series of posts about the GP Tech Conference in Fargo, ND. My previous posts are here: Pre-Day, including golf with Shawn, Taylor & Belinda Day 1 Meeting with Microsoft Day 2 started a lot more slowly for me. I decided to skip a couple of the first morning sessions… (continue >)

Day 1 of this year’s GP Tech conference was Monday, September 9th. As in previous years, this is a 2.5-day event, with very full days on Monday and Tuesday followed by a “morning-only” set of content on Wednesday. As I write this, it’s Wednesday and I’m catching up on my blogs to get them written… (continue >)

Today’s post is about the trip and pre-day for GP Tech 2019. It’s my annual trek to Fargo, ND, to the home of Dynamics GP! I always look forward to this trip. Saturday – the trip in With limited flight choices on Sunday, I flew in a day early, on Saturday, and early enough that… (continue >)

So, I said I wasn’t going to do a recap but here I am. I thought I’d do a very brief wrap-up of my short week. Previous Posts Here are the posts from earlier in the week: Monday, Pre-Day Tuesday, Day 1 Wednesday, Day 2 Getting Home There were no misadventures getting home, thankfully. It… (continue >)

Today was day 2 of the official portion of GPUG Summit 2018 in Phoenix, and my last day here. I’m flying out early Thursday to head back home, missing the 3rd day (so there will be no recap from me about it!). Here is how my day fared today… Breakfast & Bad News Breakfast was… (continue >)

Today was day 1 of the GPUG Summit in Phoenix. Not much happened today… LOL… ya right! This year is the first year where there was content for the Power Platform (Microsoft Flow, PowerApps and Power BI). Today I took full advantage of that as it is predominantly new content for me and a chance… (continue >)

Today was a “long” day but a short day at GPUG Summit. This year’s conference is in Phoenix, Arizona. I originally wasn’t planning on attending, so my time here is short due to the length of my stay being primarily a factor of the cost of the flights I could find to get here! Travel… (continue >)

I’m getting ready to leave Fargo for another year and head home after a long but great week of learning and networking. For those who may have missed my earlier posts, here are the 3 posts I wrote after each day of the Dynamics GP Tech conference: Day 1 recap Day 2 recap Day 3… (continue >)

Today was day 3 at the Dynamics GP Tech Conference. As in other years, the 3rd day is a half day and many people head on their way back home right after the conference is done. For me, it’s a bonus part of a day off to regroup, review notes, check in on email etc.… (continue >)

Today (August 21st) is day 2 of the Dynamics GP Tech Conference. This post will be a fair bit shorter than yesterday as it only covers 1 day and I didn’t take as many detailed notes in the sessions I attended! DynPros Beta Distribution Exam The first thing on my agenda today was sitting in… (continue >)

I’m back in Fargo, ND for the annual Dynamics GP Tech Conference. Today was the first day of the conference (Monday, August 20th). I arrived on Saturday morning, with very little trouble, except some minor stress of believing I might have been bumped from the 2nd leg of my flights to Fargo. It turns out,… (continue >)

After the Collaborate Canada Toronto 2017 event, I posted a poll on the GPUG Toronto Chapter forum to attempt to gauge, via an informal (& unofficial) poll, why the attendance was so low in Toronto that day. The premise of my poll was to attempt to reach some of the 480+ members listed in this… (continue >)

Today was the final event of the 4-city cross-Canada tour for Collaborate Canada. In my earlier posts, the event was aimed at users of 4 of the Dynamics product lines: GP, CRM, NAV, and AX (plus 365 in the mix with its AX/CRM/NAV counterparts). This location was easily my favourite of all of them, for… (continue >)

Today was the 3rd of the 4 city Collaborate Canada events, hosted in Calgary, Alberta. Same as the previous days, it was aimed at users of 4 of the Microsoft Dynamics product lines: AX, CRM, GP, NAV, and the applicable D365 content mixed in. Being a Tourist I got in late Saturday afternoon so I… (continue >)

Toronto was the 2nd location for the 4-city “Collaborate Canada” tour across Canada. I’m writing this nearly a week later (but the blog post date is backdated to the date of this event). The audience was quite a bit larger than Montreal, estimated to be around 200 people in total between Dynamics GP, AX, NAV, CRM… (continue >)

This was the first day of a 4 city “Collaborate Canada” tour across Canada, and the event was hosted in Montreal, Quebec. The expected audiences would be users of Dynamics AX, CRM, NAV, GP or 365. Although I enjoyed the day and the experience, I can honestly describe the day as having some “good, bad… (continue >)

GPUG Summit is done for another year and this is my final post on the conference, getting home and some thoughts. I’m writing this post a day after getting home since the getting home part was a long day! My earlier daily GPUG Summit posts, here they are: Tues. Oct 10th: pre-conference Wed. Oct 11th:… (continue >)

This is my 4th blog post in this series. Today, Friday, October 13th, is the 3rd & last day of GPUG Summit. The day was still full of sessions, with the last session time slot ending at 3:30 pm. Many people were leaving before that due to late afternoon flights. Those leaving Friday had to deal… (continue >)

This is my 3rd blog post in this series. My Tuesday pre-conference blog is here and Wednesday’s Day 1 blog is here. Today, Thursday, October 12th, is the 2nd full day of the GPUG Summit. It was a lot less stressful than my first day but just as jam-packed. GPUG Community session The first session… (continue >)

The official first day of GPUG Summit 2017 was Wednesday, October 11th. Yesterday was the day I arrived and that blog post can be found here. It was a full day that wiped me out, and I only managed to stay awake until 8:30 pm! GPUG Opening Session The first session of the day was… (continue >)

This year’s GPUG Summit conference is in Nashville, TN at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center. Wow, it’s a big place! Here’s a summary of my first day here, Tuesday, October 10th, one day before the full conference began. Getting to Nashville Unlike some of my recent trips, there were no issues getting to… (continue >)

So, now that I’ve caught up with the daily recaps, I’m starting this post from the Minneapolis airport. I should be landing in Toronto right now, according to my original itinerary but I’m still sitting here. There is some awful weather in Toronto affecting all flights both in and out so we aren’t leaving, since… (continue >)
